Connor McDavid had a goal and two assists — all on power plays — in Canada’s 4-0 victory over Germany on Saturday night in the World Junior Championship in Montreal.

Max Domi, Curtis Lazar and Madison Bowey also scored, and Nic Petan had three assists to take over the tournament scoring lead with six points. Eric Comrie made 17 saves to help Canada improve to 2-0 in Group A play. Canada opened the tournament Friday night with an 8-0 victory over Slovakia.

The 17-year-old McDavid, expected to be the top pick in the NHL draft, scored for the first time since he broke his right hand in a fight during an Ontario Hockey League game Nov. 11.

“It’s exciting. I haven’t scored in a long time,” McDavid said “I missed a whole bunch of games. Scoring goals is fun, so it was nice.”

In the other Group A game, Slovakia beat defending champion Finland 2-1. Denis Godla made 37 saves, and Peter Cehlarik and Matus Holenda scored for Slovakia.

The United States opened Friday with a 2-1 shootout victory over Finland. The Americans will face Germany on Sunday, Slovakia on Monday and finish group play Wednesday night against Canada. The top two teams in each group will advance to the quarterfinals.

In Group B in Toronto, Maple Leafs draft pick William Nylander scored in Sweden’s 5-1 victory over Denmark, and Nashville prospect Kevin Fiala had two goals in Switzerland’s opening 5-2 victory over the Czech Republic.

Noah Rod, the Sharks’ second-round pick in the 2014 NHL draft, had a goal and an assist for Switzerland. “We have a good team that can score goals,” Rod said.

Julius Bergman, also a Sharks second-round pick this year, had an assist in Sweden’s victory.
